Directions
- Start by shredding the cabbage and carrots into thin, uniform strips using a sharp knife or a mandoline for maximum crunch. Aim for about 2 cups of each to ensure a burst of flavors in your Spring Roll Salad. Set these aside in a large mixing bowl and get ready to chop your other veggies.
- If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain the shrimp and let them cool for a few minutes. If you're using pre-cooked shrimp, simply thaw them and set aside for the salad.
- In a small bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Whisk these ingredients together for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- In the large bowl with the shredded cabbage and carrots, add your cooled shrimp, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, fresh cilantro, and mint. Toss all these ingredients together gently using tongs until nicely mixed.
- Drizzle the freshly made peanut dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently once more to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Finally, transfer the salad to a large serving platter or individual bowls. Top it off with a generous sprinkle of chopped roasted peanuts for extra crunch and richness. Serve immediately.

Notes
Use high-quality, fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor and crunch. Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of your peanut dressing by experimenting with honey and soy sauce to suit your palate.
